    "Mary is a pleasure to work with—laser focused and highly collaborative. Her beautiful photographs reflect her unerring eye for composition and the rare ability to anticipate and capture a dancer’s energy and power at its most expressive. Her images are at once expansive and intimate, bringing the viewer in the room, next to and immersed in the action, revealing the dancer as well as the dance."
